200-year ritual: In MP, tazias ‘pay salami’ to Lord Krishna; Karbala journey follows

In a remarkable display of communal harmony in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhander town, Muharram tazias, carried by the Muslim community, paused to pay respects to Lord Krishna at the 200-year-old Chaturbhuj Krishna temple before proceeding to Karbala. This tradition stems from the temple’s construction by a Muslim family, the Hazari family, who also donated land.
